The Market 



Almost summer weather is not ex- 

 actly what is wanted at this season. 

 However, it ia what we have been hav- 

 ing and the trade is not nearly so bad 

 as it might be under the circumstances. 



Chrysanthemums have been coming in 

 an avalanche — not many of the extra 

 large ones, but medium and small ones 

 in quantities that sent prices down a- 

 flying. Eoses also have been coming in 

 quantities that make one fear for the 

 cut when the dark weather hits us. Car- 

 nations are more plentiful and prices 

 correspondingly lower. Violets are good 

 and more plentiful; just about enough 

 tor the demand. Beauties are good and 



there are enough of them, and the quan- 

 tities of other stock keep the prices 

 down. Lilies are suffering on account 

 of chrysanthemums, but good valley 

 finds a ready sale. The only shortage 

 seems to be in good Sprengeri. 



With such quantities of stock to dis- 

 pose of, the commission houses have 

 plenty to do, and I believe they gener- 

 ally report business good, stating that 

 notwithstanding the drop in prices, the 

 volume of sales is considerably ahead 

 of last year. 



The retail shops are really beautiful, 

 the showy flowers helping to make a 

 grand display. 



Variout Notes. 



A. W. Smith, in his new store of many 

 windows, last week used autumn foliage 



and chrysanthemums with such fine ef- 

 fect as to attract a great deal of atten- 

 tion. 



Airs. E. A. Williams' large show win- 

 dow lias been a study for an artist all 

 the week, but the artist would have to be 

 busy to paint a picture of it, as it was 

 entirely different every day. 



The Breitenstein Co. had baskets of 

 flowers as the principal feature, using 

 the small single varieties arranged in 

 Mr. Breitenstein 's own way, in which 

 there is a charm one cannot just de- 

 scribe. 



The downtown store of H. L. Blind & 

 Bros, showed some of the novelties in 

 new china, with vases of chrysanthe- 

 mums and plants. 



In the east end, Randolph & McClem- 

 ents, the Zieger Co. and H. L. Blind &
